This posting provides the code necessary to perform all the steps necessary to put a captcha on your Oracle SSO login page. Very cool stuff indeed. <a href=\"http:\/\/bexhuff.com\/\">Bex Huff<\/a> indicated in one of the comments that he wouldn&#8217;t recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/recaptcha.org\/\">reCAPTCHA<\/a> right now because while it is free, it seems to be filling his inbox with a lot of spam. Of course, it&#8217;s probably hard to determine if this is due to Bex&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=bex+huff+oracle\">general fame<\/a> or reCAPTCHA! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tanelpoder.com\/\">Tanel Poder<\/a> posted an <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.tanelpoder.com\/2007\/09\/01\/sqlplus-is-my-second-home-part-3-colored-selections-in-windows-xp-command-prompt\/\">article about a nice feature in Windows to allow you to color sections in the Windows Command Prompt<\/a>.\u00a0 It isn&#8217;t that hard to implement and could be a great help for those that teach classes or even doing a presentation. It also makes screenshots more meaningful by highlighting the interesting parts of your screen. I&#8217;m definitely keeping this posting handy!<\/p>\n<p>Now if I can just keep the days of the week straight this week, I&#8217;ll be doing well. I&#8217;m working on building the RAC VMs for www.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.OracleVMs.com\/\">OracleVMs.com<\/a> and also some other installs for some of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/products\/middleware\/identity-management\/identity-management.html\">Oracle Identity Management<\/a> products inside of VMs too.
